The Moon Lover [ 4 Tanka ] Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

" You belong to me, "
Whispered the night to the moon
" I am your lover. "
" Let me feast my eyes on you,
While you are at your fullest "

The moon is silent
Listening to the whispers
Of the lonely night
As he gaze with lovestruck eyes
Full of longing and desire

Then she dance, beaming
Her face radiantly glowing
With pride and love
She love the night so deeply
That she keeps on coming back

To her dark lover
And shower him with her love
Which shows in her face
That is full and round and bright
A comfort to lonely night
